Patricia Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I use ADAC too - excellent service. Even better if you can understand German, which I don't, but over the phone they speak very good English. I joined one day and unfortunately broke down the next (on a French motorway) so I had double my money's worth straight away. I seem to remember that like most breakdown insurances there is a restriction on the length of the motorhome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallii Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Another vote for ADAC, go for the premium cover it costs a few quid more but you get a lot of extras. H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laimeduck Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 carebear - 2013-03-04 9:35 PM Is there a length restriction with ADAC ???. I believe the answer is 10Metres see the following from their gumpf:- "Section 3 What vehicles are protected? 1 Protected all on you, your spouse or your children personally serene vehicles, such as cars and motorcycles, including with guided trailer. The protection extends also not authorizations force vehicles, if you, your spouse or minor children are owners of these cars. 2 One does not apply to you, your spouse or minor children is personally approved vehicle protected if you are a member of ADAC, your spouse or your children are minors at the time of damage led solely responsible. This also applies to vehicles not authorizations. 3 The vehicle can not go to design and furnishings for the carriage of persons not more than 9 seats (including of the space for the driver) and - A total width of 2.55 m, - A total length of 10 m, - A height of 3 metres and - A total permissible weight of 3.5 tons do not exceed. The same goes for the accompanying trailer. All dimensions are including cargo. The trailer may have no more than one axle. Axles with a distance of less than 1 metre apart, are considered an axle. 4. In addition, motorhomes are insured up to - A height of 3.20 m, including cargo and - A maximum total weight of 7.5 tonnes For mobile homes, which exceed the maximum extent, following services are not provided: Salvage (Section 26), vehicle transportation (Section 30), pick-up service (Section 31) and total loss of transportation from damage to Storage site (Section 33 No. 2). 5.

Yes this has been puzzling me as well ,my insurance is due for renewal in June with Safeguard they provide full european break down cover and they have rescued us 3 times in the last 12 months (hence the purchase of new van) i don,t think Peugeot would be so good as that,has anyone any experience of using the Peugeot breakdown service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Fiat have 'Camper Assist', have Peugeot got something similier? Was discussing this with RAC when our van was new their advise was to rely on Camper Assist and then upgrade to Arrival when warenty ran out, phoned them on Saturday to find out extra price, they asked for C&CC membership and then said "thats done then" I was taken aback, and asked whats done "We've lifted the size and weight limits" to which I asked how much it cost, to be told nothing!

I dont think I will be as confidant relying on Peugeot if we have a problem as I did with Safeguard :-S were going to have to ask some questions when its due.

We had breakdown cover from AA which came with the van, for 3 years (I Think) supplied by Fiat, when we bought our van New . Hopefully a new van SHOULD NOT break down !!

bolero boy Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Maggy. thats a bit tight of Peugeot - Fiat Camper Assist lasts for 3 full years along with our Fiat base and Swift habitation warrenty. Unfortunately, our van is 3 years old next Wednesday and I have had to look for European breakdown cover (tho never needed it so far). I am insured with Saga and they do full European roadside and recovery for approx £90. In fact, I was told by Saga that this is open to anyone even if insured elsewhere. This is similar in price to ADAC but miles cheaper than any of the other big UK players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMS Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Ford also provide breakdown cover for I believe the first two years? but the vehicle must be registered with Ford UK. Naturaly Brownhills did not do this for our Ford powered Hymer.... They also registered the vehicle as just two belted seats, four are fitted!

Patricia, Saga only sell Motorhome Assistance Plus when you ask for European cover, this most definitely includes National Recovery along with mainland europe.

Mel B Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 maggyd - 2013-03-06 2:31 PM Ive managed to find out O.H knew :-D were covered with Peugeot Assistance for 1 year from purchase date, the details can be found in the thin service warrenty book along with the phone numbers for U.K and Europe, there are a couple of exclusions ie; flat tyre,s/, going through water/ accident !!! but normal insurance will cover that wont it hopefully its with the AA. Your AA European breakdown cover should look after you for accident recovery etc. That's why I certainly would not rely on the Fiat Assist insurance simply for the fact that if we had an accident on a motorway the cost of getting our van removed would be extortionate! 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to clarify for other 'readers' , the three years only applies to certain makes, ours was only two years, so best check with Fiat UK if you are uncertain.

As I am the only driver, I can only drive one vehicle at a time but Saga want to charge me for each one separately so I stopped using them.
